Unread tab has become unusable: Random topics shown as unread
-
My unread tab has become completely unusable. It shows random old topics as unread, which I definitely read. As soon as I select those and mark them as read, the same number of other random old topics is added to the unread list. It seems to take the next batch of topics in chronological order.
Paging @julianlam and @ben_lubar. This basically breaks the forum for me, since I only use the unread list.

Hours of trying later I've barely made a dent in the amount of spam this created in my unread tab. WTF.

But then why didn't it show all of them as unread at once. Why??? And besides, I had marked those as read on Discourse…
Also, your reply didn't stream in, but the notification for it did. WTF?

@asdf I'd already been noticing that topics that I read on Discourse appeared unread here, even before this change. Maybe read posts that were posted after the first data import were still marked as unread on the final import?

I noticed that as well, but it only went a few days back. Now it's a few weeks…

@RaceProUK If only I had found that topic on the unread tab. Oh, wait…

All I did to beat it was to read what was actually unread, then did "Mark as Read" > "All" and they're cleared for me. Otherwise, you'll probably just be selecting a bunch and clearing them just to get to the next set for awhile.

Like 2 days -> 90 days >.>
So apparently anything I read over 90 days ago will now show up again, forever? Is that right @ben_lubar ?

Given the age of the post, it would have been nearer the top of the list; it's not my fault you can't be arsed to scroll a bit
-
@Yamikuronue my suggestion: read from the top until you get to stuff you don't care about and then mark all as read.
-
That is a shitty remark. I' m not at home this week so I expected to get a bit behind but this ...
-
@ben_lubar OK. When I've done that, next week will I get 83-89 day old posts popping back up all week?
-
@Yamikuronue nope
